Chinese scientists presented a project to build a lunar base in lava caves, which will allow astronauts to stay there for a very long time.
Scientists from the Harbin Institute of Technology, China, presented a project for the first Chinese base on the moon. It should be built by 2035 and will be located in lava caves.
These caves will provide astronauts with natural protection from solar and cosmic radiation, as well as save from extreme temperature changes on the Moon, writes Express.
These underground tunnels were created during ancient volcanic eruptions on the Moon. While the outer part of the lunar lava cooled and solidified, the rest of it poured out and left behind voids in the form of tunnels.
These underground caverns can be several kilometers long and tens of meters wide. According to scientists, there is enough space for the equipment of the lunar base.
